Quick decisions

Changes in plan just take over on this trip, and why not? Spontenaity is so much more fun. I know what you're thinking...how is this guy ever going to work a day job. Maybe I won't...? Surprises are great

So when Britt sent me a message with "I can come to europe... maybe" as the opening line, that set off 24 hours of panicy searching for connections, tickets, trains, anything to work out a quick meeting in Europe in a tiny window of 4 days, for two people who haven't seen each other in over 7 months. After much frustrating and fruitless searching with proposed meets in Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris and Prague, things clicked and I decided to pack up in Warsaw on a whim 6 days earlier than planned and fly to London to meet Britt. This involved the fastest packing up of an apartment EVER, meetings with numerous friends in record time and brief moments of panic where Paul had slap me hard across the face, hand me a beer, and remind me that I was still sane. An overnight train, last minute flight and busride later I arrived in London to jump Britt

It really was a great time. Since I somewhat know the city I could somewhat play tourguide and keep us from getting lost (too much) and inaugurate her to European travel. Without rushing too much, we saw some main sights and spent much time talking about how great my hair is and how Britt should come to Australia. The evenings were fun too. We went to see a show one night that had me tapping along, then checked out some English pubs with Paul Todd, saw myself crowned the undisputed arm-wrestling champ of the world, met new (weird) friends that were sometimes polish and had some great photos taken. Lots of singing was done too (seen right) especially when they played accoustic Erasure at the giant tree bar we got to.

The past 5 days were sooo much fun and sooo full but still passed by way to quickly as with anything this great.

Again, spontenaity is fun and I'm happy it worked out. Now to move on to the last leg of the trip which necessitates a change to the blog title. I'm not entirely sure where I will be between the 16th and 18th but hopefully by the end of the week I'll be sitting in my new mobile home in Sydney wearing a cowboy hat and boxers
